Hello, I am having some serious issues with a couple viruses/trojans (I'm not sure which). Both are making my computer run significantly slower and are prohibiting me from opening certain windows. The first has to do with the Roings engine(?). The second has to do with the AIM virus that installs buddylist.net on your computer. I have a Hijackthis log if you would like to see it. I really appreciate anyone's input on this.
Thanks in advance!!

It sounds a lot like roings engine. I just got rid of it a few hours ago. It makes your cpu peek at 100% constantly. You can only use your computer in safe mode. Several of the hints on the internet didnt help in my case. The add/remove programme option will not work. Roings engine will keep regenereating. I installed the HiJackThis programme and found several suspicious files. Especially the "su3gs3.dll" seemed to have something to do with the problem. But I uninstalled several other files, but after restoring the above file my problem returned, so I am confident the file has something to do with roings engine. Unfortunately I also removed other files using Faber Toys and SpyBot and I was so eager that I forgot to create backups and I accidentally removed some files used by Internet Explorer so now it doesnt work anymore. I installed Netscape instead - and since they built in a pop-up-killer it turned out to be an excellent choice. Give me some feed-back if you found this tip useful.
